Additional (Optional) Questions

QUALITIES

Imagine that someone who has never before been to your place arrives and spends about twenty minutes wandering around your landscape when you have it well under way, speaking to you about topics other than the landscape.

What words would you want your visit to say? What qualities do you want your landscape to express?

THINGS

What objects do you want in your landscape? These can be living or nonliving. You can list particular plants you want.
